•
Disconnect the plug from the power source before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
•
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and
do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool
or these instructions to operate the power tool. Power
tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
•
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the power tool’s
operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
•
Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
•
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.,
in accordance with these instructions and in the
manner intended for the particular type of power
tool, taking into account the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for
operations different from intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
Service
•
Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair
personnel using only identical replacement parts. This
will ensure that the safety of the power tool
is maintained.
Additional safety rules for sanders
Remove the plug from the socket before carrying out any
adjustment, servicing or maintenance.
•
Fully unwind cable drum extensions to avoid
potential overheating.
•
When an extension cable is required, you must ensure it
has the right ampere rating for your power tool and is
in a safe electrical condition.
•
Ensure your mains supply voltage is the same as your
tool rating plate voltage.
•
Your tool is double insulated for additional
protection against a possible electrical insulation failure
within the tool.
•
Always check walls, floors and ceilings to avoid hidden
power cables and pipes.
•
After long working periods external metal parts and
accessories could be hot.
•
Do not force the sander; let the tool do the work at a
reasonable speed. Overloading will occur if too much
pressure is applied and the motor slows resulting in
inefficient sanding and possible damage to the
sander motor.
•
When sanding wood, always connect the dust
extraction filter.
•
Take special care to guard against harmful and toxic
dusts when sanding lead-based painted surfaces, woods
and metals, including the following:
- All persons entering the work area must wear a mask
specially designed for protection against toxic dust
and fumes such as those arising from the sanding of
lead paint .
- Children and pregnant women must not enter the
work area.
- Do not eat, drink or smoke in the work area.
